Three Types of Online Sites
I often get asked by clients to clarify the different types of “websites”. Some time ago I decided that, though the lines may blur at times, there are really 3 types of online sites:
- Websites – These are primarily informational and usually contains some type of persuasive language. Examples include online brochures, white papers or splash pages.
- Social Sites – This encompasses a wide variety community-based sites that encourage a back & forth with the audience. Examples of these are blogs, forums, and photo sharing sites.
- Web Applications – This includes online communication and productivity tools. In a sense it is really web-based software that often is made up of forms and data grids. Examples include web-based spreadsheet programs, invoicing software, and email applications.
